Texas Hold’em is usually played with nine or ten players at a full table with a rotating blind system. A blind system is designed to generate money to put into the pot and stimulate betting. Most Texas Holdem poker games require players to post blinds or initial bets before any cards are dealt. There are usually two blinds in each playing round – a small blind and a big blind. The players who post the small and big blinds rotate one place to the left after each hand.
At the beginning of the game, the player who posts the small blind is the player sitting to the left of the dealer, and the player who posts the big blind is sitting to the left of the player who posted the small blind. The size of the big and small blinds can vary depending on where you are playing, but the big blind is most generally the minimum bet at the table and the small blind is half of that amount. On the first round of betting, the big blind plays last since that player already has a full bet in the pot.
Each player is dealt two cards face down (hole cards) and then five cards face up (community cards) in the center of the table. The two cards that you hold are the only cards that set you apart from the other players and give you the chance to win. Players use a combination of their hole cards and the community cards to form a five card poker hand. The player who shows the best hand wins.
Texas Hold ‘em is a thinking man’s game. You have to be familiar with Texas Holdem poker rules before you even begin to play the game.
